Crosspoint is a healthy, growing church located in one of the fastest growing cities in America. Cape Coral is home to over 200,000 residents. Crosspoint began more than 18 years ago as a portable church in a local high school and seven years later moved to our permanent campus. Crosspoint focuses on doing three things as well as we can -- our weekend experience, small groups and serving our community. We believe in connecting people in our community and around the world to a relationship with Jesus and helping them grow as His disciples in relational environments.
